I am Alexander Bender-Cramer, your host.
At this site I promote the view
that technology is not a necessary evil;
that it is necessary, and not necessarily evil.

Technology has a natural dynamism.
It wants to move away from the low-tech,
as exemplified by coal-fired power plants.
The need to rebuild infrastructure for civilization
so that it survives the impending environmental disruption
compels us to follow the high-tech imperative.
This need implies a drastic increase in productivity,
which can only come about by breaking out of the impasse
in which our various systems are stuck:
monetary, economic, education, health care.
These require as much attention as technology.
